When there were many people, we would serve 6 cakes at a time.” Yuhuapu said that when he opened his first store in 2011, this quick method did not win the favor of customers. He specially went to Chengdu snack streets to inspect and found that the owners of similar snack bars always work slowly and carefully. Even if there is a long queue outside the store, don’t panic.

The franchise fee is 10,000 yuan, the store size is 3-10 square meters, and the rental price is usually around 3,000 yuan. After deducting raw materials, rent, water, electricity, coal and labor costs, assuming that each store sells a minimum of 300 cakes, the average monthly net profit is 8,000 yuan.
At first, Yuhuapu wanted to operate a chain direct operation model, but when they had their third direct operation store, they began to polish the brand. If you want to compete with big brands and open up this market segment, you must attract franchisees.
“For every piece of dough sold to franchisees, they earn 80 cents, while we only earn 50 cents, small profits but quick turnover.” Yuhuapu said that based on 10 months, the five franchise stores would buy at least 2,500 yuan a day. A dough maker, his annual turnover can reach 1 million yuan just from selling dough.
College students grow mushrooms after graduation: annual output value reaches 10 million yuan
Li Zhengsen, born in 1986, grew up in a rural area. He is kind-hearted and helpful. The elderly in the village have difficulty carrying water and burning firewood. , he always takes the initiative to run to help.
Whenever he heard adults talking about poor villagers who had no money for medical treatment, he imagined that he would become a big boss in the future and allow those poor neighbors to work in his company and earn money.
In 2009, Li Zhengsen graduated from Anhui Construction Industry College and found a construction job in the county. Because the major he studied corresponds to his major, and he is hard-working and courageous in his work, he is very popular with company managers. One day, Li Zhengsen went back to his hometown of Wafangkou Town to visit his parents. He was in the same car with a 15-year-old boy from the same village. This boy had very good academic performance, but because his father was disabled and his family was poor, he was not admitted to a key high school. This once again stimulated Li Zhengsen's childhood dream: to start a business and set up a factory, and lead the villagers on the road to wealth!
In the autumn of 2009, the local government encouraged college students to return to their hometowns to start businesses, and a broiler chicken breeding enterprise was introduced to the village. Li Zhengsen, who had only been working in a construction company for two months, quit his job and started broiler farming with full confidence. He rented land, took loans, and built sheds. He invited some left-behind elderly and disabled friends from the surrounding area to work, and even his own parents were involved. Help management. What he didn't expect was that half of the 4,000 chickens he purchased for the first time died from the heat on the road. When the finished chickens were sold, the purchasing manager said that the breeding scale of 2,000 chickens was too small and the corresponding labor costs would be too high. If you can't make money, you will definitely lose money. The 6,000 chickens he bought back for the second time were finally raised, but the market price of broiler chickens plummeted. When he received the money for selling the chickens and looked at the empty chicken shed, he burst into tears and lost more than 200,000 yuan. He lost more than 200,000 yuan.

Once, he went to Ningshan County, Ankang, to buy Polyporus cocos. When he saw that the local edible fungi industry was booming, he became interested in cultivating edible fungi. He found that in the past, basswood was used to cultivate mushrooms and fungus in Zhashui. As people pay more attention to ecological and environmental protection, the local basswood edible fungus production will inevitably become less and less. However, the production of mushrooms in bags is still very limited in Zhashui. This should be It was a business opportunity to get rich, and Li Zhengsen took his sights on this project. After a manager from Ningshan learned about his entrepreneurial experience, he was moved by Li Zhengsen's honest, honest and compassionate heart, and agreed to cooperate with Li Zhengsen.

At the same time, he also built a bagging workshop, a strain room, and an inoculation room. , boiler room, warehouse, cold storage and processing and packaging workshop.
Jinmi Village is both a big chestnut village and a big walnut improvement village. Every year, forestry management produces a large number of tree branches and plant straws. Since establishing the edible fungi company in Jinmi Village, he has purchased these tree branches, discarded straw, corn cobs, bran, corn bran, etc. from the villagers, turning these past wastes into strings of money. Li Zhengsen also puts a lot of thought into ecological recycling management, specializing in the production, processing, and sales of edible fungi. After using the edible fungus culture medium, it is returned to the fields as organic fertilizer. The entire industrial process ensures that no harm is caused to the environment. The company adopts " The "Company Association Farmers" model gives full play to the demonstration and leading role of leading enterprises, unified training, unified management, unified recycling, and unified Zhengsen brand sales, which improves the ability of mushroom farmers to resist market risks and drives surrounding farmers to develop high-quality, efficient, ecological, and Safe farming.
